Car won't start :( not a dead battery

Starter.
Usually...One click is starter, several clicks is battery.

Yeah, just replace the starter. Soliniod's prolly shot, or dying. If you keep trying to turn the key a bunch you might get lucky and get it to crank, but your gonna need a starter soon anyway.

replace the starter your self not much to it.

hit the starter with a hammer while someone tries to start it. and when you hit it hit the larger cylinder on the starter not the solenoid. if that doesn't work take a test light and check for power on the 2 wires at the solenoid while some tries to start it. if you have power at the starter, go buy a new one.

Got it fixed and back to me today, dude replaced the starter

I didn't realize but there's an indian guy in my neighborhood who owns an import car shop, towed it and drove it back to me for free //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif
